tx rx fp rx dropped pppoe account

alaqmar2013 · Sun Aug 25, 2019 4:00 pm

Hello All. I'm running into an issue which is the tx rx fp rx dropped to 0. The solution to fix that is by press disable and enable the pppoe account. Is there any work around script to automatically disable pppoe account and enable it again once dropped?

SiB · Tue Aug 27, 2019 2:05 am

Few solutions but always Build In are the best.

/tool traffic-monitor add name=CheckPPPoE interface=pppoe-out1 traffic=received trigger=always threshold=0 on-event=SystemScriptNameToRun comment="ThanxToSiB" disabled=no

and in System Scripts this name=SystemScriptNameToRun:

/interface pppoe-client enable pppoe-out1;

This is ReEnable means create new connection.

All this can be more complicated but I hope this method will be good.

Thank you I will test it and report

Alaqmar12121 · Mon Dec 23, 2019 7:14 am

Tested. When the threshold 0, the trigger hit run time 298 times, until I disable the script, re-enable manually and the pppoe connected and back to normal. Any advice please?

Single/One pppoe with ISP in standard situation newer reach 0 and the traffic monitor is good idea to check if problem exist.
You situation I think is other. When you not have a "big transfer" as normal traffic then you should change a checking way. Before, I answer you a generic information to generic question.

When the threshold 0, the trigger hit run time 298 times

This mean the 0 at Rx is your normal behavior and you not gave many traffic/customers behind your device and then TrafficMonitor generate 298 fail-possitive check's I assume.

re-enable manually and the pppoe connected and back to normal. Any advice please?

Re-enable TrafficMonitor script or ppppoe interface?
I think the pppoe interface - this means the TrafficMonitor generate failse possitive re-enable and ROS cannot do connection?
Maybe the proper way to re-enabled in ROS is disable and separate enable the pppoe interface to do re-connection.

Again happened this morning

Maybe you should change your request.
This Rx=0 show at pppoe even when he works well and you have "not use of internet" - this give you info that way of checking interface are bad and you need other way.

Please write more about you situation.

Maybe you should have something like
* Netwatch who will be checking accessibility to remote host?
* Recursive Routing who will be checking this pppoe as accessibility to remote host?
* Own script who will be checking traffic via this pppoe and do action if no-internet will be detected by this intereface.

Many ways but you must write more about your situation.

My situation the PPPoE Status (Connected) and FP Rx 0 OR Rx 0, when i served internet there is no internet until I Disable and Re-enable PPPoE account, What I'm looking for If I got the FP Rx 0 or Rx 0 Then the Script or built-in configuration disconnect the PPPoE account and enable. Appreciate your support in advance my friend.

Yes I think of that, Rx 0, I try to navigate to youtube or any website to have transfer and see if it changed from 0, All my tries failed. The only way disable the PPPoE account and enable it again to have the internet back

I don't know why the TrafficMonitor generate that big failed check, I just Disable the TM to avoid disconnect-Connect fail request and as usual disable the account and enable it manually.

Re-enable manually the PPPoE, because the TM generate big false re enable.

Hello again,
Give me materials to work, means.

*) What do a proper re-connection?
.

/interface pppoe-client enable pppoe-out1;
# or
/interface pppoe-client disable pppoe-out1; /interface pppoe-client enable pppoe-out1;

.
*) Internet Detection.
You have internet only from pppoe-out1 and when it's have Rx=0 and Tx=0 then what is a status of this connection?
Provide me a cli print without login/pass:

interface pppoe-client print detail
put [interface pppoe-client monitor pppoe-out1 once as-value ]

.
and/or screenshot from Status tab.

We can connect TrafficMonitor with one of those status infrormation to do proper checking and restarting pppoe.
Alternative will be scheduler and netwatch since.

I know Rx=0 but I search some additional who is other in offline and online mode.

But you not share both screenshot to compare.

In this scenario, with all screenshot you provide I think that the best ways will be for you use from Netwatch+Scheduler to monitor internet and do reconnection when off-line will be x minutes.
I Describe this way with one ISP in this post: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=118075&p=746693&hil ... ht#p746693
Your version are like this:

1. Create NetWatch -> only it will do ping testing of target host and run up/down-script.

/tool netwatch add host=1.1.1.1 interval=10s timeout=500ms disabled=no comment=InternetWatchDog

*) 2. Add UP-script -> Remove future fix action because ISP is up.
Do Nothing more.

/system scheduler remove [find where name~"SiBexInternetWatchDog_"];
/log warning "RESET Netwatch scheduled DOWN-script... ISP WORKS";

*) 3a. Add DOWN-script -> ReCreate future jobs before DeadLine came true in 1m and last hope do reboot in 2m.

log error "start Netwatch DOWN-script...";

WinBox > Tools > NetWatch - here a place with 3 tabs, up and down tab are two script who are running when access to remote host change to up (work) or down (failure).
Host 1.1.1.1 and Comment are important because they are use to check a result of proper netwatch.

Please setup Netwatch to 00:00:05 (check 1.1.1.1 every 5s).
In Down-script, the action "after 20 second do reconnection" without reboot, this will be done in 20-25s from internet failure.

1. Create NetWatch -> only it will do ping testing of target host and run up/down-script.

Tried to understand something out of this "issues" but I just don't get it.
What is the initial issue?
The FP Tx = 0 ?
That's normal.
While connected to a router which is mostly idle, from outside.:

/interface monitor-traffic ppp-wan once
name: ppp-wan
rx-packets-per-second: 8
rx-bits-per-second: 5.2kbps
fp-rx-packets-per-second: 8
fp-rx-bits-per-second: 5.2kbps
rx-drops-per-second: 0
rx-errors-per-second: 0
tx-packets-per-second: 11

fp-tx-bits-per-second: 0bps
tx-drops-per-second: 0
tx-queue-drops-per-second: 0
tx-errors-per-second: 0

And after beeing connected also to a device behind it so the firewall has to forward a few packets:

/interface monitor-traffic ppp-wan once
name: ppp-wan
rx-packets-per-second: 15
rx-bits-per-second: 9.8kbps

No issue.

Tried to understand something out of this "issues" but I just don't get it.
What is the initial issue?

Stop traffic on pppoe-out1 who stuck on be running but not transfer any traffic. Similar situation is at l2tp tunnels, after reboot the one direction is not work and tunnel must be re-enabled and this can be happend with low probably but I see this in few mth again for years.
.

The FP Tx = 0 ?

It's symptom. Autor of post cannot write other difference on working and stuck connection without this Rx=0.
.

That's normal.

On links who have small traffic yes but not if you have got constancy traffic. You mean main optic links in ocean have got sometimes Rx=0 ?
.

Congratulation. Not every ROS and RB works well, I hope your luck will be permanent.

Znevna · Wed Jan 08, 2020 3:02 am

Weird. I have not seen something like this with PPPoE and we mostly have PPPoE around here, almost all ISPs offer PPPoE connections.
A config export wouldn't hurt, before digging more. As for the FP counter you'd have to be sure your fastracking rules are properly set and you don't have your traffic bypassing it
So, yeah, not very reliable to script against it.
Also, your joke about the optical ocean link, RX no, it might not be 0. But he was talking I think of FP Rx (actually I've seen it's FP Tx) which is not the same thing.
But, he didn't give many details. And in the ones he gave I have not seen RX 0, or TX 0, only FP Tx 0 which as i've tested above, can happen in a normal use case.

Weird.

YES, I agree.
Question please ask to Topic author about export, version his ROS and RB, I try do at all I could.
Topic autor not provide properly data to create right script then I give him my "better Netwatch solution" because he have only one wan interface and this is good way to solve his problem.

P.S. Maybe problem will be solve by upgrade and he have got mAP as main router but all this are "maybe".

Alaqmar12121 · Sun Jan 12, 2020 7:46 am

@Sib tested the code over three days. Please check attached screen. even with netwatch setting, the internet down and back with manual disable and enable the pppoe client account

Alaqmar12121 · Sun Jan 12, 2020 7:48 am

Also i refer back to first suggestion by you @Sib
I add below hope it will disable and enable pppoe account once traffic went to 0

/interface set pppoe-out1 disabled=yes
:delay 25
/interface set pppoe-out1 disabled=no

What you think?

SiB · Sun Jan 12, 2020 2:17 pm

First, If you have both netwatch with the same

host to check
comment

then this stops works because a down-script read and search a proper status since from only one netwatch with upper condition. Now he not work properly.
Please stay only one netwatch with this comment.
Netwatch haven't created a schedulers after DOWN happend and not do a future fix work.
or change the DOWN-sctipt to this one who check additional the ENABLE netwatch:

-----
About Rx=0 and action re-enable.
It was a first try but a "Traffic Monitor" detect you a "Rx=0 per 1 second" even when pppoe is working fine. This means this is not good way.
If TM have got option like... 20x happend = 20s with Rx=0 then run script - this will be your solution but TM not have build that counter.

-----
If you fix comment in not active netwatch then you receive one of the best watchdog base on ping in this forum and realy you not must cheat with TM who cannot give you a state UP to reset or dec() external counter.

Alaqmar12121 · Thu Jan 16, 2020 7:26 am

I have notice when script initiated, there is so many disconnect until authenticated and connected. Is it normal?

SiB · Thu Jan 16, 2020 10:53 am

I am not using a PPPoE but with other VPN-s it's common/often.

sopyan0807 · Sun Jan 26, 2020 5:45 am

I think the Traffic Monitor Tool can do it

SiB · Sun Jan 26, 2020 4:51 pm

sopyan0807

I think the Traffic Monitor Tool can do it

TM run's every seconds and it not check past results like NetWatch.
This means your scripts with delay command can be run multiple times. I hope now you know that TM cannot have a any delay in his script. This should be commands who run finish before 1s time.

andyh747 · Tue Apr 27, 2021 4:35 pm

I'm trying to use Sib's script to monitor and then action disabling/enabling the LTE interface on a LHG LTE6 unit.

I'm not experienced with scripting but I simply copied and pasted his scripts. How can I post my config so you can check it?

andyh747 · Wed Apr 28, 2021 12:40 pm

OK I've posted my config below. If someone could have a look to see if the UP-script and Down-script is correct that would be appreciated.

I was getting script run errors with the log showing not enough permissions. I ticked the box not requiring permissions and the scripts are now running when the LTE connection goes down. Just need to fully test now on a live setup.

Thanks SiB for posting the scripts and all the work you've done on it.
